We have groomed all trails including Deeryard, Pioneer, Ridge Run, Lookout, Connector to Hall/Massie, Hall Massie loops, and connector to Lutsen.  The only trail that remains ungroomed are those South of the Jonvik creek bridge.  Most skiing is similar to late spring conditions requiring care in the early morning and late evening hours and we would recomend rock skis on much of the system with the exception of:  Deeryard, Pioneer Loops, Lookout Mountain.  The run from Caribou will ski well until the trail sub surface gets very uneven, then it is going to be walking it until you hit more flat subsurface conditions.  Please see www.norpinetrails.org for the latest conditions and updates.

On Tuesday we groomed the Pioneer loop and attempted to groom the Hall/Massie loops but by the time we got to the Hall road we gave up due to lack of snow.   Pioneer loop will ski if you ski it clockwise.  Skiing it the other direction could be hazordous as the downhill runs have some exposed dirt spots.  The Deeryard loop continues to be the loop of choice with base depths in the 2-5 inch range, nice track setting with our new Ginzu double track groomer and cooler temperatures.

Continuing our winter woes with un-groomable conditions on the Hall/Massie sections as well as the connectors.  While some people have skied the trail, it is presently not considered safe as rocks and other debris are on portions of the trail.  Deeryard, Short Loop and Firetower are all groomed and skiing well.

We put tracks down around the Pioneer Loop, the Main Deeryard Loop and the Firetower.  Deeryard Lake is now skiiing excellent.

Best conditions are on Deeryard, Lake side is still showing som
rocks. Pioneer will ski but very poorly. None of Hall/Massie
groomable.  See www.norpinetrails.org

The Hall/Massie sections were all rolled as well as the connector from Caribou to the loops and Cascade to the loops.  No tracking on any of this.  The Pioneer is rolled and tracked, the Deeryard is rolled and tracked, the Short loop and firetower runs are all rolled and tracked.  Best skiing will be found at Deeryard.  See www.norpinetrails.org for detailed grooming information.
